Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3

Rationale 1: Yes, since the product is based in nature is incorrect because being based in nature does not make it safe or better or effective.
Rationale 2: Natural products are not as potent as approved medications is incorrect because natural products are not automatically safe, nor are they better than a prescribed medication. Coming from nature does not make it safe or effective. Natural products might not offer improvement over conventional therapy, and might be of no value whatsoever. Some herbal products contain a variety of active ingredients that can interact with prescription drugs.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2

Rationale 1: This statement is false.
Rationale 2: Nonadherence to drug regimen can cause a lack of medication response.
Rationale 3: A lack of response is most likely caused by nonadherence to drug regimen. A lack of change in the client's condition should yield a response to the medication.
Rationale 4: A lack of response is most likely caused by nonadherence to drug regimen.

Global Rationale: Non-adherence to drug regimen can cause a lack of medication response. Not all medications produce appropriate responses. A lack of change in the client's condition should yield a response to the medication. Adherence to the drug regimen should cause a response not a lack of response to the medication.
